TEST SPINS | Lifehouse: ‘No Name Face’

“Hanging By A Moment” by alternative rock band Lifehouse has always been a summer staple for me. When it popped back up in my musical rotation this season, it hit me: while I’ve listened to Lifehouse before, I’ve never actually listened to any of the other songs that accompany “Hanging By A Moment” on the album, No Name Face (2000). This was both the impetus for this review and my new column, “Test Spins,” where I will review older albums ranging from the classic to the obscure. I’ll admit, I am somewhat of a Lifehouse novice — my knowledge of the band is mostly limited to their 2005 namesake album and the aforementioned “Hanging By A Moment” — so I was interested to hear No Name Face in full. It did not let me down.
